In February, the first grade classes from Carson Elementary School had their class trip to Adventure Aquarium in Camden.

Students first attended a class and learned about land and water habitats; they then had the opportunity to touch horseshoe crabs, stingrays and sharks.

Walking through the aquarium, the students observed sharks swimming right above their heads! Other sea animals such as sea turtles, crabs, sea stars, fish, jellyfish, and sea horses were seen in various tanks throughout the aquarium.

It must have been a lazy day for the hippos, because they were snuggled up sleeping peacefully.

Carson staff would like to give a big thank you to all of the parents who volunteered to chaperone for the trip. The kids had a great time!
